To recognize the most outstanding papers in the area of research, development and production of drugs from the sea, including marine natural product chemistry, that have been published in Marine Drugs, we would like to start an annual “Best Paper Award”.

We are therefore pleased to announce the first “Marine Drugs Best Paper Award” for 2013. Nominations were selected by the Editor-in-Chief and Associate Editors of Marine Drugs from all papers published in 2009; reviews and articles being evaluated separately. The following three papers have won this award:

We believe these three exceptional papers are valuable contributions to Marine Drugs and drug discovery research. On behalf of the Prize Awarding Committee and the Editorial Board of Marine Drugs, we would like to congratulate these three teams for their excellent work. In recognition of their accomplishment, Dr. Hendrik Luesch and Dr. Sergey B. Zotchev will receive a prize of 600 CHF and 400 CHF, respectively, and the privilege to publish an additional paper free of charge in open access format in Marine Drugs, after the usual peer-review procedure. Dr. Gianluca Papeo will also be awarded the privilege of publishing an additional research paper free of charge in open access format in Marine Drugs, after the usual peer-review procedure.
